Music, the only ingredient to transmit hope. Chronicle of the Christmas Concert at the UAB
There is a paradox. Music is everywhere, it is part of our being and our daily routine. We have the capacity to listen to it all the time, but in few moments we realise that it is there. We adopt a passive listening attitude and music disappears from the forefront of our lives. Sometimes, we don't realise that music is the only ingredient to transmit emotions and create bridges between cultures, people or even moments. On 19 December, the UAB Choir, the Chamber Choir the and Orchestra offered a song of hope for an hour. The stage became a symphonic refuge in which hypnotic voices and harmonised instruments emanated their own light to a hundred people who also believed that music was the only inevitable additive to achieve the intended recipe: a Christmas concert that would awake the absolute attention of our inner self to admire this art.
